🦢 🦅 And one from last month, which I think hadn’t posted yet. The Milky Way core is back from around midnight, so all the shiny things near it are too.
This pair are the Swan / Omega nebula in Sagittarius (M17, top) and the Eagle Nebula in Serpens (M16, bottom).
The latter is more well known because of the Hubble “Pillars of Creation” photo. You can *just* make out those pillars at the center of the nebula.
So yes, you can image them yourself from home with a $600 phone-controlled “toy telescope”.
Being red nebulae, they are of course star forming regions 😀

Captured some data on the Sunflower Galaxy (M63) last week that I combined it with some data from last year to make a decent image. This galaxy is still on my to-do list for a deep capture, but I haven’t gotten a good opportunity yet.

Omega Centaurus A
The biggest brightest globular cluster - Omega Centauri and the biggest brightest (in radio) galaxy - centaurus A. They sit, not far from each other, next to the Milky Way in Centaurus.

This month's target of the month from AGWA is the Statue of Liberty Nebula ( #NGC3579 ), which is in Carinae, and near the famous Eta Carinae Nebula.
This is three hours with a #Dwarf3 in Ha/OIII . Post processing in #Snapseed and Stellar Studio.

A frosty path to a rising moon and a miky way
🇬🇧 My plan to photograph the rising comet C/2025 R3 in the early morning was thwarted by heavy fog in the east. Instead, I looked south and found the rising moon between the trees.
🇩🇪 Eigentlich wollte ich ja den aufgehenden Kometen C/2025 R3 fotografieren, aber dichter Nebel zog im Osten auf, sodass ich nicht einmal mehr die Sterne gesehen habe. Im Süden ging derweil der Mond auf, sodass ich meine Pläne über Bord warf und ihn zwischen den Bäumen in Verbindung mit der Milchstraße fotografierte.

The closeup photos from Artemis II will put this to shame, but here’s a look at the terrain of the near side of the moon through my telescope yesterday morning, in the hour before dawn. I’ll never not be amazed by this view.

Sure, the Artemis II astronauts will get incredible closeup views of the moon today — but will they see Luna in her noir mood, wearing her smoky veil of clouds? I think not.
From afar or up close, our moon is just spectacular.

The moon at 5:00 EDT this morning, at 84% illumination (oriented with the eastern side facing down). This afternoon, the astronauts on the Artemis II mission will get a much closer view.

The first full moon of spring, April’s Pink Moon, is known as the Budding Time Moon (Mohawk), the Moon of Ducks Returning (Lakota), and the Moon of Ice Breaking in the River (Arapaho), among other Indigenous names. Clouds and rain may prevent a good capture tonight, so here’s Luna a few days ago at 95% illumination.
Also, we are apparently launching a crewed mission to orbit the moon TONIGHT. More thoughts about that in the comments. 1/

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
Another galaxy came crashing through the front door, causing all kids of mayhem. These are two big galaxies in the process of merging.
During that process they pass close to (or through) each other and the gravitational interactions stretch them and fling their constituent stars and gas far and wide. In this case, into long tidal tails, which are showing signs of star formation.
Everywhere you can see blue, hydrogen gas got stirred up and collapsed into giant hot blue stars.
This pair is know as the Antennae Galaxies and they sit about 70 million light years away in the constellation Corvus. So their crash is actually 70 million years more advanced than what we can see!

First try on the Jellyfish Nebula🪼.
I've often thought about joining The Cloud Appreciation Society. I'm in #Perth , #WesternAustralia and we never seem to have enough water from the sky, and it's hot more often than not. So clouds are great.
Right now I'd APPRECIATE it if the clouds would go somewhere else and let me do some more frames of The Unicorn Nostril. #Astrodon #Astronomy #Astrophotography

The North America nebula! Two and a half hours of exposure from my porch with the Dwarf 3. Only “edits” were the Dwarf’s star correction and noise removal - no manual touch-ups to stacking (yet)

This image may be is not looking as fabulous as the other #astrophotography images out here but I find it to be quite fascinating.
Meet the coma cluster, a large group of galaxies tightly packed in one spot. It contains over 1000 identified galaxies, so everything in this image that is a bit misshaped is probably a galaxy!
You know it's bad when you have a dream about setting up some scopes to do #astrophotography and the clouds show up even there 😭🙃

Reaching for the stars!
Chilean astrophotographer Alexis Trigo captured the VLT Unit Telescope 4, shooting its laser beams to create artificial stars high up in the atmosphere.
This allows astronomers to correct for atmospheric turbulence that blurs data: eso.org/public/images/potw2611…

Is There Anyone Out There? 🌌 for #spookysaturday
Space is scary. End of. ✨
The only part of the image that isn't mine is the astronaut. Because well, I don't know any astronauts. The stars were taken from my living room window in Italy and the rocks are from outside Dad's house in Ireland. All editing was done while swearing profusely. ✨

I captured the RGB data about this time last year (March 2025), and I decided to see what the pic would look like if I added some narrowband data. I was able to capture a decent amount of Ha+OIII data and played around with mixing the two. This is what I came up with.

Another from last year's "Galaxy Season". Image data captured over 3 nights in February and March of 2025.
NGC4535 is a pretty spiral galaxy. Being located in the Virgo constellation there are unsurprisingly many other small galaxy smudges - as shown in the labelled wider field view.
6" refractor with a mono CMOS camera. Approx 1 hour each of red, green and blue combined into a single colour image.

“Voll cool” / Totally cool
Astrophotography is totally cool! Since @apod recently posted a photo of the molecular cloud CG 4 (also known as “God’s Hand”), I thought I’d share my own version. This is from an introductory astrophotography class I took, where we learned how to process data captured from a remote telescope to produce images such as this. More in the alt text.

Last night worked out a lot better than I thought it would!
I'm really glad I bought that new tripod and mount. It was a lot of money, but dang, my 130PHQ is a workhorse now. I was expecting some major tracking problems with the wind last night, but that rig is solid as a rock.

Skywarden now supports full horizon profiles — but getting one required either a €20 app or actual surveying hardware.
So I built Theo: a free PWA that uses your phone's sensors and camera to capture azimuth/altitude pairs and export a .hrz file compatible with Stellarium, SkySafari, and Skywarden.

Skywarden gained support for detailed horizon profiles - but creating one required either expensive surveying hardware or apps that cost €20–30 for a task most astrophotographers do once or twice.Frank Adler :: Astrophotography & Web Engineering

A very full moon rises on March 2nd as the sun sets.
In about 9 hours the moon will be totally eclipsed.
For New Mexico maximum eclipse will be around 4:30AM, but totality lasts for about one hour. Set your alarm and think 'clear skies'.
